Bruce, you are confrontational. You post contentious material, and then express resentment when people contend. Accept that other folks don't share your right wing viewpoint, and try countering their argument with a reasoned response, even when they are unreasonable...

Can't comment, read your first post, and didn't open it again."





It looks like you DID comment, without reading the thread in question.



" then express resentment when people contend."

I express resentment WHEN I AM PERSONALLY ATTACKED, not when people contend with the topic of discussion.



If THIS is too contentious to discuss, we should just let SRS tell ALL of us what to think.

"The article entitled, "A President for Everyone, Except Black People," was published on April 14th and respectfully criticized the lack of African-American appointees in President Barack Obama 's cabinet and challenged the lack of policies specifically designed to reduce poverty. On April 15 and April 16, coincidentally the 50th Anniversary of Dr. King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail," Wilson contacted Johnson and encouraged him to resign as the speaker, a suggestion Johnson refused. Wilson then proposed that Johnson agree to be one of three speakers for the event. Johnson refused this offer as well on the grounds that it was a departure from the college's tradition of having one baccalaureate speaker, and all initial representations made to him. Accentuating the principle of free speech, Johnson said, "I have always been and continue to be a supporter of President Obama. The issue is not about the article in question, but about Morehouse's longstanding history and pedagogy of free thought and free speech. Without free thought and free speech, Morehouse would not have produced our most admired alumnus, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr."
